"William Calyeit , Ahnondbury . —It would appear from your statement that John Calvert was seized in fee of the property , and if he was , he bad a dear right to leave it to Jaekson .

We may expect good results from this meering at Sheffield . Tho reiolutionshave emanated from a society of men who aro widely famed for their devotcdness to labour ' t right * , and tbeir universal and impartial liberality in supporting of thoir ft How opcrativis , has procured for them the gaod-nill and gratitude ofthoulands . The o »> e of the Holy town miners is'in gcod hands there , and we trust the desirad effect will soon unfold itself . . Let the trades look at this , and endeavour to coopsrate with the operatives of Sheffield to . rescue the faithful and firm miners of Uoly town from tho degradation andabBolute slavery that has been to lonj threatening them , and is now struggling for the last time , te orush the energies , and upset tbe privileges of these men ; bat , fortunatel y , the trades are not going to suffer this to come to pass , they are determined to help them , and thua by their own power , deliver suffering humanity from ruin , and teach capitalUts tbe folly of tampering in these dayB with the rights of the people .

0 " Fnfen for theKOun . " ¦ Friends , —We feel desirouB ttis week of again I drawing your attention to the Association for the Employment of Labour . We feel confident that ; when the working classes shall fully understand and 1 appreciate our principles , they will not hesitate to 1 adopt them , as the best calculated to secure our > national elevation , and the universal emancipation J of injured labour . For , however sanguine our ex- pectations may be , they will be infinitely surpassed > by the unspeakable power for eood contained in thu
•^ ^ ^ fc ^^ M ^ ~~ ~ ~ w ¦ ¦ — ' ™ ^— ^^ ^ H W B ^^^ T soaaty , which as yet has but very faintly unfolded its capabilities . It is in the full developement of the principles of this Associatian that the toiling millions will see its entire adequacy to redeem Labour , and how aitb- nishingly it will supersede its predecessors , both in point of affording protection to industry , and in creating a field for the profitable employment of surplus labour . As we have often said , instead of exhausting our exchequer ia supporting unproduc- tive strikes , use that means in providing happy homes for the overworked millions in setting them to useful and remunerative employment . It is to this souree that we look for the perfection of our present movement , and for the full attainment of the rights of industry , demonstrating beyond dis- pute the utter inefficiency of the old worn-out ays- terns of managing trades ' matten ; and at the same time , unfold with the greatest satisfaction our im- proved method of directing the energies of the people successfully to realise their purposes , and to pilot them in a channel the most conducive to the happiness and well-being of the industrious classes ;
and to invest labour with claims , and with a dignity , that capitalists have been ss long instrumental in effacing and degrading . It is our wish , and we invite the calm and de . liberate investigation of our fellow-labourers into the rules and objects of the association ; the preamble ef which appeared in the Northern Star of Sep . 4 th , which will show the comprehensive and rational measures of our reform , while the principle of our operation the offspring of mature deliberation , enriched by long and practical experience in the inefficient plans heretofore adopted to procure a reward for labour . stocK
This association is a joint company , can . sisting of individual members , and trades in their collective capacity . The shares are £ 5 . each , to be paid in at the rate of 10 s . per quarter . It is contemplated to get 20 , 000 shareholders , either individuals , or of trades in their organised capacity . These shares , when paid up , would invest us with a capital of £ 100 , 000 . The manner in which it is purposed to appropriate the funds , is , to enter into manufacturing and agricultural speculations , in giving employment to skilled artisans , at their own kind of work , or in purchasing estates for the location of such of our redundant labourers as may be eligible ; instead of wasting it in unproductive strikes and turn-out 3 . The capital , expended as the rules provide , would yield an annual income to the members in the shape of interest upon the amount invested in the funds . Some people object to such measures being adopted by the working-cla ases ; they sajr , it is
ffL ^" , lefor working-men to do so ; asthey such sr , ?! s ? nor the abiHt ? to 3 W ° u t KLftfV ^ MJMlMM be worked efficiently undS cVS , ? ^ « ^ *>««>*« % « sp ^ it of ie sucStl ?; p itting the market jorif wouldhtS :, i ) ltall 8 ts ' bycombinin 8 a B ain 8 t us ' Z"Sril -l , t 0 cl ' the market » and break up anrl , S T , ! w Se stocks and no sales .

' Th , s objechon may appear a . little plausible at first wt I ' , i PP ^ , rather dlfficult t 0 ° a » a man from his bench , or his loom , or his frame , or anything die to superintend the manufactory . BuK e would aSk A ? ° l present ^^ facirjTm . ported from ? For a moment , look back up On Z history of your trades , say for this last 20 or 30 years , and look over the trades now , and ask yourelf how many of the masters are there now in the trade , who were in it 20 years back ? Look around ims-sj ^} And w ? ** youo » e re
, , ; where did they get imported from ? Why Tom your own ranks . Many of them are the associate of your early days / who worked at the same ben „ and toiled with you for the necessaries of life I the present race of masters have been supplied ' from the working-class ; if the men who iSJduct the manufacturing and commercial operations of this country have been raised from among working-men and men who conduct those operations for their own personal employment ; surely the workingclass , could without much difficulty , find others equally competent to enter upon the same
commercial pursuits , for the interests of themselves ; that the profits , in place of being lavished upon a few , should be divided amongst a company of co-operators . Besides , we would . ask , are we only to look for skill and ability among the gifted capitalists ? Does filthy lucre imbue its possessor with this noble qualification ? Is kind nature partial in her bestowments ? Are the wealthy alone the skillful portion of our race ? No ! Nature is impartial in her gifts 1 And the brightest gems in God ' s fair creation have risen from amougjthe despised and tsiling thousands . Skill of every grade , and suited for every variety ot
action , and every form of commercial enterprise however critical , or however complicated / exists among the working-throng . But it is not the absence of skill from the labouring portion of the community that is feared . No . The fear is , of the working-class . discovering that they really and truly do possess that skill , lest they should , with this knowledge , raise a capital by their associated capacity , and at once develops their mental fitness to undertake and carry out efficiently , such speculations . Working-men , capitalists are afraid of your knowing your own power ! and tremble lest you should discover the eaormous profits arising from your own labour .
This objection is too late . The working-man is learning his own worth , and will never rest until he occupies the position of a man and a brother . The very existence of the National Association for the Employment of Labour , is a sufficient proof thai the working classes are beginning to see in the right direction to liberty . Working men , we say , dp not lack the necessary skill to carry out such measures . They only want the capital , and when they get the capital , they will also get the profits of capital-the honours of capital . For capital is always honoured , though found in possession of a knave . Get capital , and we will warrant you will find men among you , amply qualified to conduct any undertaking either in manufactures or " agricultures . :
2 nd . But if it could be done efficiently , it would injure the trade , by introducing a spirit of undue competition into the market , and with too great a supply overstock the market . ' In reply , we say , eould we do worse than the present race of employers ? Could we do more injury to trade , than what the capitalists have done ? That would be impossible . Did ever men try to compete , outgo , and under-8 ell each other more than the manufacturers do at the present time ? Was there ever such pinching , such screwing , and such planning to get labour performed at the cheapest possible rate as now ? Was ever trade more generally depressed than at the present time ? Were ever the working classes worse off , more oppressed aud overwhelmed with keener sufferings , than they are now ?
; Surely not I all the evil consequences of the present strife , and force competition that characterise the I manufacturer , fall upon the poor labourers , they are the sufferers ; capital must be rewarded , must be honoured , and labour must go unrequited and degraded . Could working men , we would ask , by entering upon a plan of beneficial self-employment do more harm to society ? Could they make things worse than they are ? Could they inflict more injury upon the trade by undue competition , than we ate at present called upon to experience ? We think not-instead of doing injury it would do an incalculable amount' of good . It would enhance
the value of labour . It would equitably distribute the profits of industry , and infinitely improve the social , the moral , and the physical condition of the people , and by that means promote peace and brotherly love . It would increase our home consumption , and create a demand for labour , and open a field for commercial enterprise hitherto unknown , or rather untried , that would legitimately absorb the greatest portion of our productions , and by mutual . interchange , generate a kind and fellow feeling , establish concord and harmony where disorder and confusion raged . Injure trade ! impossible—we want protect it , and that protection is wrapt up in the plans and objects of this Association .
tl 0 d pi d p lc K ti h f < But we should glut the market , it is said . But that is not true . It pains us to see the market so over-stocked as it is now , especially when we consi . der the privations and > uffering 3 the people are compelled to endure . The markets are over-stocked , and the people are starving . The markets are not glutted because the people have enough , and can consume no more , at least we think not ; ask the operative Framework Knittws of Leicestershire , of Derbyshire , and Nottingham how it is they do not wear more shirts , and hats , aud shoes , and they will point you te their suffering hungry children , crying for bread , and have
n > c t t a I t t none to | give ; ask the thousands of operative cotton spinners of Lancashire , how il is that they do not consume more coats and trousers than they do , and they willpointjyou to the careworn countenances of their wives , their poverty-stricken children half-clad and wretched , and the father unable to help them . The markets are overstocked , not because the people have enough and to spare . No ! but because their scanty pittasce will not allow them to procure the smallest comforts of life . The poverty and
< 1 ] ] < ' ' 1 destitution of the people is the main cause why our home consumption is so very smalfand unstable . But , mend , their condition , pay them an adeqnate price for their labour , and they will quickly decrease your stocks , and create a demand for industry . This is the plan we suggest , and the way in which we are determined to go , i . e ., to improve the condition of the people , and when they have the means , they will soon ease their sufferings , and supply their wants , and by the concentrated power of the people , we will accomplish our purposes .
But , says another , how is it that the foreign trade is so bad , as well as our home trade ? In answer to this , we say , manufacturers , in order to outvie in cheapness , and undersell their neighbours , have constructed machines to make spurious articles , aud have sold goods of a very inferior quality to our foreign customers at the best pi ice , and beine so repeatedly deceived by our goods , they haver determined to deal with more honest and more honourable tradesmen thin what England can boast of . Thus our foreign orders are countermanded , because the people abroad will be duped no longer on this
point . The opinion of a gentleman writing from Buenos Ayrei , . May 15 th , 1847 , will show clearer the cause why we are losing our foreign trade . Jt is as follows j . Sir , —I fear much that the staple trade of this town will gradually be superseded by the Germans , i . e . the export trade ; and from my own observation tbeir woollen and merino goods are , as I have said befere , in my last letter , full 25 . per cent , cheaper here tban those manufactured at Leicester , and I am afraid the same may be said of cottou hose . The French are also sending out here good printed cottons ,
and such as do not deceive the natives , who aro become pretty cunning , having been so often deceived by the exterior appearance of eur prints ,, which in most instances won't bear the application of soap and water more than twica before the colours are gone . Now the French know all this , and take &d > vantage of ns by sending out gooda of & superior quality , the ' jcnnsequencc ia , their goods are sold at alarge profit , and ours are accumulating in their stores , and no one will trust them except the shop-keepers in a small way ot ' buBinesa , or those in tho country The fact is , the manufacturers in England , by send .
ing out such trash , are cutting their own throats . America is sending out all sorts of joiners'tools of an excellent quality , and no mechanic erer thinks of "ouying an English axe , saw , or file , because they have 1 ) eea >? c 0 ° « en deceived . Is , not this system most suretotind in disgrace and loss to bur manufacturers ? 1 ° » ^ Jnwdl y think it conceivable when I tell you , t&ijt although there' are millions of yards of calico in ™! , i ' £ \? 0 Ulnfty , lookin win for such as is called . §™» ; S- u and , * u ° h * b may-be bought in any te .

nor articles we have sold them for fienuhie : We must leave the remainder of the subject for another day , trusting at the same time , that the operative * will endeavour to rescue themselves by becoming apart of this Association , that the objects of the sister society may be more fully and speedily achieved , ' Let the working classes bend their attention to this subject , and carry out our plan of redemption , and a just compensation , shall yet be awarded to Labour .
HOLYTOWN MINERS . The misers are still nobly and firmly contesting the rights of labour ; nst a man has broken the peace , nor offered violence to any one . They appear to have but one object in view-the rights of labour , and that they are determined to have or die in the attempt to gam it . ¦ . ajy . milT ' g&s u ° P ress > received » copy ¦ of the S ^ W * ° ^™^ - - llltaer » of Holytown . but it SKfi tk 5 » Star > but ehaa appear ? k ^ wf ""^ Wdeousness , and show ^ WBStttSrU .-Ltt : S £ "? r ™ = « s ^! a mutual assistance of these men and their brethren . But no , this cannot be . We carisot see smch monstrous atrocities practised upon our friends , without
raising ourheartsand voices against it . Let the trades continue their assistance . Let every man do a little , and we shall yet see the miners brought through this trial unstained with ; Slavery , having nobly resisted the strongest attack of tyranny , to the last minute . Warning . —We wish lo advise our friends against a deception that has been practise'l upon them , and we fear , if continued , might eventually supersede the struggling of the Ilolytowa miners , or rather defeat them in their objects ; we extract it from the Leicester Journal : —
A Delusion . —We have been informed that a certain political agitator of this town , who professes great sym . pathy for the poor working man , has , at the instigation of a ' worthy' knight , who has lately become closely connected with the Interests of the borough , induced several of the able-bodied and industrious stocking makers to leave this town , with a view of procuring a more lucrative employment at Clay Cross Colliery . Intimating to them that they wouldbe enabled to earn from 20 s to 3 Gs . per week . They were informed , we are teld , that their chief employment wouM be in excavating and cutting a road , and that the undertaking would last for three or four months . Thli promise of bettering the condition of the poor half . starved stocking makers , induced a number of them to accept the proposal , end on Saturday last they were despatched by train ( carriage paid ) to Clay Cross . We will not offer any remarks o < our own upon this mbjectat present , but will content ours » We » by giving the following extract verbatim , from
a letter received on Wednesday last , by the father of one of these poor deluded creatures : — 'CheMerfleld , Sept . 7 tb , 1817 . When wa got to Clay Cross wo found things very different to what we expected . We thought we wtr « going to . work on the bank , but we feund we must go down into the pit to work , er not at all . The men on the bank were getting from 2 s . to 2 s . fid . per day . They would give us 3 » . 6 d . per day foim the first & thight , and then we were to haro what we got . We should have to find eur own candles , and they said we should not earn them Is . 6 d . per day , so we thought if we could not got that much for them , we could not get much for ourselves . We went down two pits , and we thought we should not like it at no price . We should have had to bought flannel things to work in . They looked more like devils than men . We had to go a quarter of a mile under giound . We left G— working down the pit , but I would not advise you to come , others may do as they like . I am going en to Bradford to try to get work . '
Wo hope the above will bo enough to put the unwary on their guard , so that they may not be led astray , aud be deceived as those men in this instance .

SCOTLAND . Mr KoBiON reported on Wednesday , he waited upon the Holytown Miners , had an open air meeting of the district , not less than 1 , 500 beiug present , explained fully the position ef the Central Committee , showed them that they ( the C . C . ) had done as much for them as the trades themselves had given them tbe means of doing , consistent with other engagements they had en hand , when , after some discussion , they unanimously agreed to withdraw the document they had issued to the trades , desiring a apecial Conference ; he left the men la the best possible spirits , seeing that the trades of Britain had bo spiritedly taken the matter up . He had put into his hand a printed documeat that is waiting the issue of the strike , one of the most stringent he ever saw . One of the rules forbid tbe men to belong to ' anj / union , or from attending any meeting for any purpose whatever , under heavy penalties ; such as being immediately discharged ttw worki , and hit wife , family , and furnltnre being turned into the
street without any notice . The question ii not so much one of wages , as an attempt to destroy the union , the unionists , under the direction of W . Claugban , having always acted upon the principle of restriction knowing well that when large stocks were upon the pit bank , their employers were in a position to starve them into a reduction of wages : it ia ftfr the tradeB to lay whether they shall be starved into compliance or not . The same evening he attended , a large meeting at Paisley , held in a church , — . tho largest and most enthusiastic he has had in Scotland—which broke up apparently quite satisfied with what they had heard . He then went on to Barrhead , and held an excellent meeting in a schoolroom , which was crowded . In consequence of many being unable to attend , it was thought advisable to hold another meeting the next evening , when he explained the principles of the Asseciation , and the position of the Holytown miners , to a numerous and attentive audience , the results of which will be a large accession of strength to tbe National Association .
Washington . — Mr Parker attended a public meeting of the trades , held in tbe Town Hall on Wednesday , to take into consideration the principles of the National Association of United Trades , the case of the Warrington gloss . eutters , who hare been on strike against a heavy reduction for several months past , and the Holytown miners , and spoke at great Iengtb , followcd by Mr Hargreoves , ofManohester . lnavery neat speech , urging the necessity of a combined effort on tbe working classes to relieve themselves from the trammels of misapplied oapital , Tbe following resolution having been proposed and seconded , was unanimously agreed to : —
'That this meeting , having beard the principles and objects of the National Association of United Trades , for theproteotion of ladastry and tbe employment of labour , fully explained , believes them to be eminently calculated to improve the condition of the trades generally , and ear . neatly call * upon the operatives oi Warringtca to give effeot to the opinion here set forth , by joining forthwith ; and , further , that this meeting deeply sympathises with the Warrington glass-cutters , and the Holytown minera , and pledges Itself to render Ahem all the support in it * power . ' '¦ ' ¦ ••¦• The meeting then separated , Gbeat Gkur Meetin « . — A demonBtiation on beh&Vfi of the . power-Ieom weavers of Bacup , Lancashire , took place on Sunday , consisting of between five and six thousand persons . Messrs Beesley , Wheelwright , Williamson and J . W . Parker , severally addrested the vast assemblage . Tbe power . loont weavers in tho employ of tbe
Messrs Aitken have been on strike during the lust tea or twelve weeks , and this meeting * as got up to evince the sympathy that has ( or a long time been maaifestsd in thsir favour , and truly this meeting was indeed aa imposing sight . Resolutions » ppro » ing of the principles of the National Association of United Trades , and a determination to join , were come te . by a forest o £ bands beiug hold up in their favour . Manchester . — On Wednesday evening ,, a benefit took place at th » Queen ' s Theatre , in aid of the funds of the Manchester district . The house wa » crowded in every , part , and the audience appeared much delighted .
AtvA , Scotusb . — The principles of the association are progressing in Alva , and its moral power Is o » erating among tho master class . While the membcra sf the association were obtaining subscriptions in aid ttf their brave but suffering neighbors in Holytown ; some of the master * had the audacity to offer their meo a redac tlonupea Borne Wad . of work amounting from 18 to 3 per cent . But they are happy to etato , that by tho negociatioa of a iew of our hands , appointed to wait upon the employer , In one of the largest fnotoriss , we have sue oeeded in making arrangements at a loss of 8 d per cent , only ; and wo are confident , had thoso employed in our trade in this district been numbers of the a 339 cifttion , we should have succeeded without loss of 0110 peuny . We , therefore , earnestly entreat nil working men to beceme members ef the National Union , in order tliat they may be able to resist the encroachments of gratping espltaUsts , who are'determined tolivo in luxury * nd
